Multi-Agents for modeling Complex Systems (MA4CS'05)
Satellite Workshop of
the European Conference on Complex Systems (ECCS'05)
Paris, France,
14-18 November 2005
Presentation
The Multi-Agents paradigm is more and more used as a tool for
modeling, simulating or programming complex systems, in different
disciplines: mechanics, economy, urbanism, sociology, biology,
computer science, etc.
The Complex Systems field of research focuses on the study of systems
that exhibit complexity as a phenomenon inherent to the system's
nature. The system is considered as a dynamic network of interacting
entities, where its global behavior and organization are obtained
through a non linear aggregation of the local behaviors of its
components. The system is thus considered through the perspective of
its dynamics and organization.
The Multi-Agents (MAS) field of research, while being often considered
as a sub-domain of AI, is influenced by many disciplines outside AI.
These disciplines include Biology, Ethology, Sociology, Economics,
Organization and Management Science, Complex Systems, and
Philosophy. Today MAS research activity covers different fields of
computer science: software engineering, AI, networks, distributed
systems, etc.
The MAS research focuses on the study of communications languages,
interaction protocols, multi-agents architectures and methodologies,
operational and theoretical models that facilitate the development
of systems designed as a set of autonomous interacting entities
(called agents), invested in the achievement of a collective task.
Many work has been achieved in the multi-agents domain. Multi-agents
applications are developped at a large scale in different domains,
but more efforts need to be made to come up with theoretically
grounded models or assessed methodologies for modelling and
programming complex systems using the multi-agents paradigm.
This workshop is aimed to bring together researchers from MAS and
Complex Systems domains, in order to cross-fertilize research held
in both fields, and come up with, theories, tools, formal or/and
operational models and methodologies for MAS approaches dedicated to
complex systems.
Topics of Interest
The main topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
- Multi-agents based simulation of complex systems,
- Self-organizing mechanisms in MAS
- Operational models for self-organizating systems
- Dynamics and emergent organizations in MAS
- Co-evolution of social and spatial organizations in a MAS
- MAS based modeling of bio-inspired systems and systems inspired
by nature
- Tools and methodologies for multi-agents modeling of complex
systems,
- Formal models and theories of multi-agents modeling of complex
systems,
- Applications of MAS based modeling in complex systems
...
Submission
The submission should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer-Verlag LNCS
style (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It must be
sent either in PostScript or PDF format to the organizing committee
chairs (Salima Hassas or Giovanna Di Marzo Serugendo) . For those
submitting papers in PDF format, please ensure that papers do not
contain embedded fonts (such as embedded Asian fonts). These papers
can be difficult to read and view with many PDF viewers not equipped to
display certain character sets.
Publication
All accepted papers will be available on the day of the workshop in
a set of working notes.
Accepted papers will also be made available in electronic format
before the day of the workshop.
Extended versions of selected papers from this workshop will be
considered for publication in a Special Issue of the ACM Transaction
on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Journal.
Important Dates
- Abstract submission (intention of submission) deadline:
August 25, 2005
- Paper submission deadline September 2, 2005
- Notification of acceptance September 28, 2005
- Camera ready due October 20, 2005
- Workshop November 18, 2005
